Waters Tops National Podiums
Adelanto, Ca (10/27/06)- Justin Waters,
a high school Junior from Joseph OR, has won World Off
Road Championship (WORCS) National ATV titles in two divisions,
Open A and ProAm. With nine rounds of competition from
January through October, Waters raced at various MX/Grand
Prix tracks such as Washougal WA, Oceano Dunes CA, Lake
Havasu AZ and Payette ID. WORCS is the largest ATV series
on the West Coast, averaging over 500 entries per event
in 2006.
In Open A, he chalked up the win with consistency,
logging a top three finish in six rounds. In ProAm,
his championship hunt held repeated drama, finishing
out of the top ten several times but fighting back with
wins in other rounds. His third place finish at the
Pismo Beach CA event secured the win by 9 points over
the runner up.

Waters aboard his Yamaha YFZ450 |
In both classes, his bike of choice was the Yamaha
YFZ450. “This year, we put together a team of
sponsors and products we believed would help us win
races. We had some ups and downs and we had to fight
for it, but we stuck it out and I’m really excited
about how it turned out.
For 2007, Waters has set the aggressive goal of being
the first rider to capture the ProAm, Open A and Production
A titles in the same year.
“Other riders have done all three, but no one
has won them in the same year. I want to be the first.”
To accomplish this, Waters has already re-signed key
sponsorships with Kenda Tires, Epic Suspension and Progressive
Shocks, and will be adding some new names to the side
of his trailer before the season kicks off in January.
